There was nothing in this week’s stack of books that really cried out for the Spotlight, but there is something in the Archives that I’ve wanted to write about for a long time that is newly-relevant, so there are […]

Well, she was either “Sprite” or “Ariel” at the time – I forget which; it took her a while (and being possessed by a demon ninja) to settle on a code name.
The voice acting – and voice casting – were the things that kept me from enjoying the 1990s’ X-Men animated series, but I probably would have been able to look past a lot of my complaints if B: TAS hadn’t set such a high bar (for animation and for voice acting/casting).
Marvel never really bothered offering much in the way of explanation for how the crossovers could happen, but DC’s position (back before CoIE) was that they took place on Earth-B. But yeah, I love the bit with Robin casually dropping a reference to the Avengers. -
I will say that Wolverine had the only good voice casting/acting on the show. Well, him and Roddy Piper as Sabertooth.
(I will not dignify the rest of your blasphemous nonsense with a response.) -
I don’t know, it probably needs more racism and misogyny to hit the right tone, but not bad, overall.
Also, Teen Titans Go! has the benefit of being funny.
(I don’t actually watch it very often, as I don’t actually watch much TV at all. But if the TV happens to be on, and TTG! happens to be on – the odds of that are good – I’ll sit down and watch a bit.) -
Dave Cockrum was the regular X-Men artist by that time, which…I would have been okay with him drawing it as well.
Then again, maybe if Wolfman wrote it, Byrne would have been willing to be involved, but I know by that time he would have had no interest in working on it with Claremont.
Still, it’s an interesting thought experiment, and yeah, while I have no complaints about Simonson, it would have been cool to see what Perez would have done.
